The Chicago sit-down production of Spamilton, a musical parody of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning hit Hamilton, will end its run at the Royal George Theatre October 8 after seven months of performances.

Written by Forbidden Broadway creator Gerard Alessandrini, Spamilton premiered Off-Broadway in July 2016 for an 18-performance engagement at the Triad Theatre. It swiftly extended, and later transferred to an open-ended run at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre where it continues to play.

Spamilton opened in Chicago March 12, 2017, for a 10-week run at Royal George Theatre’s Cabaret/Studio Theatre, where it was also extended. Tickets are now on sale for the final weeks of the Chicago engagement that will close October 8.
